It was reproduced from a National Coaches Certifica- tion Program by William Wolfson of Richmond Hill and concerns 10 rules for parents of athletic children once written by the well known fitness expert Lloyd Percival. Maybe your son will be a great hockey player some day and maybe he won't but he will be a better performer if you follow these rules. And if you follow these rules he will also have a lot more fun. 1. Make sure your son knows that win or lose you love him. Let him know that you appreciate his effort and that you won't be disappointed in him if he fails. Be the person in his life he can always look to for support. 2. Try to be completely honest with yourself about your son's athletic capability, his competitive attitude, his sportsmanship and his level of skill. 3. Be helpful, but don't coach your son on the way to the game or at the breakfast table. Think how tough it must be on him to be continually inundated with advice, pep talks and criticism. 4. Teach your son to enjoy the thrill of competition, to be "out there trying" to be constantly working to improve his skills, to take the physical bumps and come back for more. Don't tell him that winning doesn't count, because it does and he knows it. Instead, help him to develop a healthy competitive attitude, a "feel" for competing, for trying hard and for having a good time. 5. Try not to live your life through your son. You've lost as well as won, you've been frightened, you've backed off at times, you've been the villian. Don't expect any better of him. Sure, he is an extension of you, but don't assume he feels the same way you did, wants the same things or has the same attitudes. Don't push him in the direction that will give you the most satisfaction. 6. Don't compete with your son's coach. A coach may become a hero to him for a time, someone who can do no wrong and you may find that hard to take. Or your son may become disenchanted with the coach. Don't side with him against the coach. Talk to him about the importance of lear- ning how to handle problems and how to react to criticism. Try to help him understand the necessity for discipline, rules and regulation. 7. Don't compare your son with the other players on the team, at least not within his hearing. If he has a tendency to • resent the treatment he gets from the coach, if he is jealous of the approval other players get, try to be honest with him. Don't lie to him about his capabilities as a player. If you are overly protective, you will perpetuate the problem. 8. Get to know your son's coach. Make sure that you ap- prove of his attitudes and ethics. A coach can be very in- fluential and you should know what his values are so that you can decide whether or not you want them passed on to your son. 9. Remember that children tend to exaggerate when they are praised and when they are criticized. Temper your reactions to the stories your son brings home from the rink. Don't criticize him for exaggerating, but don't overreact to the stories he tells you. 10. Teach your son the meaning of courage. Some of us can climb mountains but are frightened to get into a fight. Some of us can fight without fear but turn to jelly at the sight of a bee. Everyone is frightened of something. Courage isn't the absence of fear. Courage is learning to perform in spite of fear. Courage isn't getting rid of fear, it's simply overcoming it. Fifth most successful coach Earlier this season, the Montreal Canadiens won their 400th game under the coaching of Scotty Bowman. This makes Bowman the fifth most successful coach in NHL history. At the moment Bowman's record stands at something like 410 victories in a little more than 700 games for a win .percentage of 1675, Only Dick Irvin, Toe Blake, Billy Reay and Jack Adams have more victories to their credit.

"We had a tremendous tour- nout considering the terrible weather conditions we went through four season in one day," Collins said. He had nothing but praise for the 200 local people who worked to keep the 100-mile trail passable. "The last part was the roughest," according to Audrey Collins, the organizer's wife, Of the 375 people who set out • After "giving" Mitchell the second game, Exeter Hawks rebounded for a 4.2 win in Zurich, Sunday, to take a 2-11ead in their best-of:seven loop final, Fourth game in the set swings back to Mitchell this Friday with the fifth slated for Zurich at 8:00 p.m., Sunday. "We just blew it," coach Ron Bogart commented after Mitchell had squared the series with a 7-6 overtime win on their own ice, Saturday.

They will face Listowel in that 12:50 contest, Exeter dropped their first tilt in the tournament, Friday, when they watched a four-goal lead over Kincardine disappear in regulation time and then had the deciding goal scored against them in the first minute of the overtime session. However, they rebounded with a 2-0 victory over Hanover on Saturday to keep their hopes alive for some silverware. Both goal tender's experienced problems in the opening tilt between Exeter and Kincardine, Scott Pincombe set the tone for attack of their Mitchell namesakes. The tying goal came with only 25 seconds remaining and with the Mitchell goalie on the bench in favour of an extra attacker. Just seconds before, Exeter had a two-man break on a lone Mitchell defender with the net open and blew the chance to put the game out of reach when the play was offside at the blueline. Mitchell scored half way through the overtime session Mitchell led 2-1 after the first period and the score was even at 3-3 heading into the final period, With Steve Jennison in the the contest when he scored after `Only 12 seconds of play on' the first shot of the game. John Kernick drew an assist. Kincardine came back with two tallies in the first stanza, but Dave Shaw fired the first two of his four in the early minutes of the second to give Exeter a 3-2 margin. After Kincardine knotted the count again, Bill Glover fired an unassisted marker to provide Exeter with a 4-3 lead at the end of two, The locals jumped to the attack in the opening two minutes of the final session when Mark Van- dergunst stole a puck in the Kincardine end to score a short- handed tally and Dave Shaw followed that up a minute later with Exeter still playing a man short. penalty box, Exeter scored at the 5:52 mark on a short handed effort, but Mitchell came right back on the power play to knot the count. Exeter then scored two quick ones near the 13:00 minute mark to give them what ap- peared to be an insurmountable lead. Mitchell scored a short handed goal at 18:11 to narrow the count and set the stage for their tying tally.

Pinder and VanGerwen also had two assists, while helping out on one goal each were Steve Jennison, Mommersteeg, Don McKeller and Gerald Weido, Come back Fears that the Exeter crew may have been "down for Sun- day's contest after blowing the second game,were quickly put to', rest as they held a good margin of play. The visitors scored first but Fred Mommersteeg got that one back when Bob Ward failed to hang onto his hard short and it fell into the net, Exeter took a 2-1 lead in the second when Brian Taylor was left alone to poke a loose puck' into the net on a power play at 9:58 with Gerald Weido and Phil Knight picking up the assist. However, Mitchell knotted the count four minutes later on their own power play. The deadlock continued until ' the 13.05 mark of the final period I when Don McKeller blocked a shot at his own blueline and raced down the ice all alone. He was hauled down in front of the Mitchell net, but still managed to steer the puck into the corner for the winnng tally. Gerald Weido scored the in- surance marker with twol minutes remaining as he and line mates Rick Ingram and Brian Taylor hemmed Mitchell into their own end. Exeter continued to hold Mitchell off and didn't allow the visitors a shot on net in the final four minutes of the game.
